remembered as perhaps thr most grand

About five hundred invitations had been
sent out, in obedience to which the NJ. E.
Church was comfortably filled about fifteen
minutes before 6 O'Clock, the appointed
time. The church windows were darkened,
the lamps lit and as the chance' was decked
with profusion OF plants and flowers,
the place looked indeed fitting for the oc.
casion. The chief feature Of the decora-
ton was parasol made Of flowers and
suspended from, the ceiling, under which
the high contracting parties were to stand.
The ushers were Messrs. Cass Meyers,
Fred Hunter, Charles Walters and Bert
Harrison, who seated the audience with
! perfect ease.
Upon the arrival Of the mail train from
the west, which brought large number Of
guests from st. Johns, the wedding pro-
cession started from the residence OF Mr.

coupe obtained at Owasso for the occasion
and several carriages from this place. AS

organ and began the wedding march, and
when the bridal pair entered, they were
